[Gastric lipoma: an infrequent cause of upper digestive hemorrhage].
The authors report a case of gastric lipoma which was discovered because of severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The entity is seldom reported in the literature; only 17 cases have been reported in our country. The diagnostic possibilities are analyzed. In most cases they only confirm the diagnosis of a benign tumour and pathological verification is necessary. Surgical treatment is recommended in the light of the frequent complications of this tumor.
